Clan site hosting with a taste of PHP

[CSN NewsBot]

Looks like there's yet another free clan-hosting website out there trying to make a name for itself. This time www.avidgamers.com is making itself known for offering a free php-backend to all sites it hosts (so if you were talented enough could code up a site similar to CS-N). Members also recieve some more in the way of things behind the scene, so check out the full text if you're interested. Thanks to IceCube for the heads up.



Oh yea, and all hosts don't get any sort of pop-ups nor are they forced to put up any ad's it's all just totally free hosting.[break="Click to see full features"]

The the website, consists of 2 parts: a closed in member system and a public side of it.



Features:

The member login part have:

- PHP mail, a system which sends private messages to other members and which can be read and written on the website

- Polls

- Sub pages for own content

- PHP Header/Footer system.

- Re-built CSS

- Automatic member lists

- Customizable forums

- Customizable member rank system which the clan admin can administrate to himself.

This is perfect for clans where you need restricted access to some parts of the admin console, so one top admin can administrate all and subadmins can take care of being forum admins or poll updaters, news reporters and so on.



Public Site provides have:

- Forums

- Recruitation forms that can be received by the admin/php console

- Secure login system

- and of course subpages for the clan to fill up.

- re built CSS



All design and code and such can be rewritten if you dont like the prebuilt design, only thing you cant do is to rewrite the database (MySQL) code.



Even admins dont need to know any PHP code themselves to use the system



The address each clan receive will be www.avidgamers.com/clanname



Via the main forums and websystem of avidgamers, clans get a spot where they can profile their clan, recruit and communicate to other clans.



And at last: it is all 100% free, no pop-ups, no site ads, just a pure website.

you would also have to have access to several mysql db in order to make a site like csnation. php alone won't cut it.

It's a clanhosting service, not a news site domain.

[Lethal]

All its bandwidth was probbably eaten from CSN visitors viewing it.

Another one bites the dust!
